Gujarat women, men reach quarters in TT

Gujarat women’s team made one of the best comebacks of the game when they beat Rajasthan 3-2 after being down 0-2 in the pre-quarterfinals of the 11Sports 80th Senior National and Inter-State Table Tennis Championships in Cuttak. Men’s team also reached quarters at the cost of Maharashtra B.

Whereas, Frenaz recovered in time and got the better of Priyanka with an 11-7, 12-10, 9-11, 8-11, 11-5 score line and pushed the pre-quarter rubber into the decider.

In the battle of nerves, fought between Filzah and Nikita, it was all about who blinks first. Filzah demonstrated her skills with some flurry of forehand winners leaving Nikita mere spectator. Nikita felt the pressure and succumbed as Filzah walked away with 11-9, 11-8, 10-12, 11-4. In quarter final, Gujarat women’s team will face AAI.

Meanwhile, Gujarat men’s team edged past Maharashtra B with a 3-1 win. In-form Manush Shah gave Gujarat an early lead with an 8-11, 11-8, 11-5, 11-7 win over Albuquerque Reagan.
